I was glad to hear this. Although he did serve about a year in jail (for which he was selectively prosecuted while others are not for similar election donations, and it was clear partisan intimidation by Eric Holder's justice department of a Republican donor, and in particular a harsh critic of our beloved feuhrer Barack Obama).

D'Souza already did the time, but his record is now cleaned.

Trump also pardoned Scooter Libby a month or so ago (what Libby was doing in jail in the first place I'm not really sure, since it was deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage who admitted he was the one who inadvertently leaked CIA operative Valerie Plame's name to reporter Robert Novack, and NOT Libby.) Another example of a Democrat special prosecutor running amuck, in a shakedown plea bargain to get a conviction just to smear a Republican administration any way they can. As opposed to being guilty of the actual crime the special investigation is its stated purpose to investigate.

D'Souza took his selective prosecution remarkably in stride. In a previous interview, he joked about bringing his politics to prison, and converting his fellow inmates to conservative-Republican ideals.

As was clear, it was selective prosecution, and D'Souza, while he did make a donation higher than he was legally allowed to, was prosecuted where many others --MANY DEMOCRAT DONORS-- are not.

D'Souza spent time in jail and certainly didn't get a walk or a free pass.

Unlike Hillary Clinton with her illegal private server that compromised national security to the Russians and Chinese EVERY DAY she was secretary of state, with her 33,000 deleted e-mails, deleted AFTER they were subpoenaed the FBI/DOJ, Congress, and Meuller investigation, bleachbit-erased computer hard-drives, and smashed 4 cel phones to bits to hide e-mails and text messages. Not to mention her part in colluding with the Russians through FusionGPS and Christopher Steele, participating in illegal FISA surveillance of the Trump campaign and Trump administration, rigging two televised CNN primary debates, rigging the 2016 Democrat nomination to leverage out Bernie Sanders, on and on. If anyone is getting away with anything, it is Obama, The Clintons, the broader DNC, and their Deep Stae operatives like Comey, McCabe, Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, Bruce Ohr, Rod Rosenstein, Loretta Lynch, James Clapper, and John Brennan, among others.

If you want to identify "corruption rewarding corruption" how about Eric Holder's justice department, where Holder described himself as Obama's "wing man" selectively using his prosecutorial power to punish a critic of Barack Obama.

The same way Obama used the IRS to audit, harass and intimidate his political enemies.

The same way Obama used illegal FISA warrants to spy on and frame the Trump administration with manufactured perjury and other means to frame Trump officials.

Kind of lose your credibility throwing around partisan accusations while celebrating somebody that was certainly guilty of the crime but was pardoned for it totally out of partisanship. You can rationalize anything but this is still a corrupt President rewarding corruption.

All I said was that it was selective prosecution, and that D'Souza got both a conviction for a crime others are not punished for, and a sentence that far exceeded that of the few others who were sentenced for similar donations. D'Souza was punished. He did time in prison. I fail to see how I lose credibility for pointing out his selective prosecution. Combined with the multiple other abuses of Obama and Hillary. During Bill Clinton's presidency, the IRS similarly audited conservatives like O'Reilly, Limbaugh and Hannity. That abuse of power was taken to a whole new level during the Obama years, where the IRS leadership met with the White House over a hundred times, that just coincidentally was simultaneous with the IRS targeting Tea Party and religious conservative groups.

How much more so, with the FISA surveillance of the Trump campaign. That frankly scares the snot out of me! They set up every trap to try and get Trump officials to take the bait. In the case of Veselnetskaya, she was a Russian lawyer who was only in the country because of a special Visa personally approved by Obama's attorney general Loretta Lynch, who the day she tried to bait Donald Trump Jr with alleged "dirt" on Hillary from the Russians, the same day met with Fusion GPS (funded by Hillary), and met Fusion GPS both BEFORE and AFTER her meeting with Trump Jr. That's one example of many of how Hillary and Obama pulled the puppet strings to manufacture "Russian collusion" that did not exist. There are mountains of evidence of Democrat/Deep State corruption. When there is the slightest whiff of a crime (as in D'Souza's case) Obama's Justice Department pursued it to the hilt. Even as they simultaneously sabotaged and threw the case to prosecute Hillary and her staff on FAR more serious and proveable charges. And with the example of Barack Obama e-mailing Hillary on her illegal private server, there is certainly a case to prosecute Obama as well, that they are obstructing.

A CIA agent who served in the W. Bush administration, and then suddenly found himself aggressively prosecuted on manufactured charges under the Obama administration. Aggressively prosecuted by... wait for it... Comey and Meuller.

Interviewed on Fox's morning show yesterday, he said that they had one charge on Kiriakou that they expanded to 5 charges, which they pursued until he had sold his home to pay for his legal defense and was bankrupted and out of options, at which point they offered to plea bargain it down to 1 charge again. A deal Kiriakou was forced to take. For which he spent 23 months in jail. Doess that story sound familiar? It's exactly the shakedown Meuller and company used on Michaeel Flynn and others indicted by the Meuller commission.

Kiriakou says that he was aggressively prosecuted on far less than Hillary Clinton and many other Demcorat/Deep State operatives got a complete free pass on.

He is requesting that Trump pardon him and clear his record to undo the malicious prosecution that ruined him. Another example of the Democrat two-tier justice system.

Another one the liberal media doesn't want to discuss is Trump's release of Alice Marie Johnson, after hearing about her case from Kim Kardassian. A black woman arrested on drug charges. who without Trump's compassion and intervention would have spent the rest of her life in jail:

Any action where them media can't portray Trump as a racist and white supremacist, and actually helps black America, is something the liberal media doesn't want to report.

For the record, "racist white supremacist" Trump has in just his first year created the best black employment numbers EVER, since the government began tracking black unemployment in 1972. Gee, if you didn't believe the liberal media, you might think Trump actually has the best interests of black America, and of the nation in general!

As opposed to what former Rep. Allen West said, that Democrats want to keep black America "on the plantation", poor and dependent on government handouts, that would keep them reliable Democrat big-state voters election after election. The irony is that Obama was a racial demagogue that the liberal media portrayed as this great unifier.

As opposed to Trump, who really does have unifying rhetoric and wants a rising economy to lift all boats, whose actions (unlike Obama) match his rhetoric, but is portrayed by the media as a racist who "wants to make America white again."
